Refer to exploded views in the Replacement Parts
section for parts breakdown of the support stand.
The reference numbers in the procedures
correspond with the reference numbers in the
exploded views.
1. Install retaining ring (9) on inner column (10).
2. Install nuts (6) finger tight on bolts (5); install as
close to the head as possible. The nuts will be
used as jam nuts after the screws are installed.
3. Install the outer column (2) in base (1). Insert
the outer column (2) so it is seated against the
shoulder in base (1). Install two bolts (4) and
tighten nuts (3) against base (1) to secure.
4. Install inner column (10) into the outer column
(2).
5. Clean surfaces of the inner column clamp (7)
using a non-lubricating solvent. The surface of
the inner column clamp (7) must be clean for
proper clamping.
6. Install column clamp (7) onto the outside of the
outer column (2) through inner column (10).
Install two bolts (5) and tighten nuts (6) against
outer column (2) to secure. Install locking
handle (8) in column clamp (7). Secure inner
column (10) by tightening the locking handle
(8).
7. Position the V-roller head (17) or horizontal
roller head on inner column (10) so it is seated
against the shoulder in roller head casting (11).
Secure roller head (17) with two bolts (5).
Tighten nuts (6) against head casting (11) to
secure.
8. To interchange the roller heads, loosen bolts (5)
and remove the roller head (17). Install the roller
head (17) and tighten bolts (5) and nuts (6).
Using the Material Support Stand
Although the operation of the
material support stand is simple, the operator
must perform the steps carefully. The material
support stand can handle heavy loads, but if not
used correctly, severe injury could result.
Note: The roller support stand must be used on a
level surface and bolted to the floor whenever
possible.
Adjusting Roller Head Height
1. Adjust the height of the roller head by raising or
lowering the inner column.
2. Lock the position of the roller head by tightening
the locking handle.
3. The amount of clamping force between the
column clamp and the inner column determines
the amount weight the stand can support.
4. Keep the inner column clean. Accumulated oil,
grease, splashed coolants, or machining debris
caught between the inner column and column
clamp will reduce the amount of clamping force.
Moving Material on the Rollers
1. Adjust the roller head height so that the top of
the roller is at the same height as the saw table.
2. The rollers are equipped with ball bearings to
provide easy roller action.
3. When using multiple stands, make sure the
stands are aligned so the material is centered
over the stand. The material should glide
smoothly over the rollers. Move the material
slowly over the rollers; heavier material will be
difficult to stop if it is moved too quickly.
4. Keep hands and fingers away from the rollers to
avoid pinching hands or fingers between
material and the rollers.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the Rollers
1. The roller head ball bearings (13) are sealed
and require no lubrication.
2. Check bearings (13) for wear or binding.
Replace worn or binding bearings.
3. Check roller shaft (15) and roller(s) for damage.
Replace if damaged.
Maintenance of the Inner Column
1. Check cleanliness of inner column. Keep the
inner column clean and dry.
2. Check inner column for damage. Replace if
